The article emphasizes the complexity of DBMSs and the multitude of configuration knobs that impact performance and scalability. The default configurations of these knobs are often suboptimal, leading to the need for automatic tuning tools. However, most existing tools have limitations, such as being designed for specific DBMSs or requiring manual steps. The authors propose a new approach that reuses training data from previous tuning sessions to optimize DBMS performance for new applications. This approach reduces the time and resources needed for optimization and achieves significant improvements in latency compared to default settings or other tuning advisors.
The main objective of the authors' work is to extend OtterTune and propose novel machine learning models from previously collected data to prune redundant metrics, map unseen workloads to previous workloads, and improve latency prediction. They achieve this through steps such as pruning important metrics, workload mapping based on performance measurements, and prediction modeling using regression models and neural networks.
The article also provides an overview of the entire system architecture, which includes important steps such as metrics pruning and automated tuning through workload mapping. The authors discuss the limitations of previous automated DBMS tuning methods, which relied on heuristic or cost-based algorithms. They highlight the drawbacks of focusing on individual DBMS instances and the varying impact of configuration knobs based on workload.
In the metrics pruning stage, the authors carry out factor analysis and K-means clustering to capture the variability of system performance and differentiate different workloads.

In this study, the authors utilize deep learning for automated database tuning. They start by carrying out K-means clustering with a reduction technique called factor analysis to cluster the data. Silhouette analysis is then used to identify the optimal number of clusters. The authors use the FA algorithm to transform high dimensional data into low-dimensional data. Each factor is a linear combination of the original variables and can be interpreted in the same way as coefficients in linear regression. The authors calculate silhouette scores for K-means models with different cluster configurations and select the model with the highest score. Once the optimal number of clusters is identified, the metrics are segregated into clusters and a metric closest to each cluster centroid is selected to represent the entire cluster. Redundant metrics that are too close to each other in the scatterplot are removed from the data. The pruned metrics are then normalized and provided as input for factor analysis. The authors observe that only the initial 30 factors with eigen values greater than 1 are significant for the DBMS metric data. Gaussian process regression (GPR) is used for training the model, and K-means clustering is used to identify and segregate metrics into meaningful groups. Workload mapping is done by matching the current target workload to offline workloads and calculating a score for each workload based on the distances obtained using Euclidean distance. Latency prediction is carried out in two stages, and the authors use GMM clustering and random forest as alternative algorithms to GPR. They also experiment with neural networks and evaluate the results using various evaluation criteria such as silhoutte analysis, mean squared error, mean average percentage error, and MAPE. Scaling and hyperparameter tuning are performed to improve the performance of the system.
The experiment discussed in the document aimed to automate the tuning of database management system (DBMS) configurations using deep learning techniques. The researchers used a combination of different models and algorithms to optimize the performance of the DBMS.
The first part of the experiment focused on tuning the hyperparameters of the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model. By adjusting the alpha parameter to lower values, the model's performance improved. The researchers also built random forest trees with different depths and estimators, selecting the ones with the best evaluation scores as hyperparameters.
The results of the experiment showed that replacing K-means clustering with Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering slightly improved the performance of the model, as measured by Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Squared Error (MSE). However, the performance of the random forest algorithm was not as good as that of GPR. The neural network-based model showed even better performance, as it was able to capture complex relationships and achieved lower MSE values.
Despite the superior performance of the neural network model, it should be noted that neural networks have a higher tendency to overfit when given less data. Overall, the experiments demonstrated that both neural networks and GMM clustering can improve results in automated DBMS tuning.
The conclusion of the experiment highlighted that automatic DBMS tuning is an active area of research. The researchers proposed an automatic approach that leverages past experience and collects new information to tune DBMS configurations. They achieved a MAPE of 69% using the baseline implementation, which utilized feature aggregation, K-means clustering for metric pruning, and GPR for prediction modeling. Replacing K-means clustering with EM-clustering reduced MAPE to 67%, suggesting that GMM clustering could be an alternative. The deep learning-based approach outperformed both clustering approaches with a MAPE score of 65%.
In summary, the experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of deep learning techniques in automated DBMS tuning. The neural network-based approach showed superior performance in capturing complex relationships, while GMM clustering proved to be a viable alternative to K-means clustering. However, the researchers acknowledged the potential for overfitting with neural networks and the need for further research in this area.
